I just keep digging and digging and digging myself into a hole. I can't believe how long it has been. I am the worst. I am so sorry. And I have left you all with a cliffhanger again. I feel really bad. I am sorry about how awful a "schedule" I have. I should just stop pretending I even have one. I do hope you guys like this. Please tell me what you think.


A day later the Avengers all gathered together again in the main common room. Sherlock hadn't slept well the night before. He had had night mares about Loki and it had kept him awake. John had started out in another room but after hearing Sherlock cry out he had moved into the other room and they had spent the night together. It had been weird at first but they had lived together for years an the started to talk. Not about anything in particular. John had started out by asking him to deduce something and it had gone from there. John had eventually fallen asleep and Sherlock had tried to fallow by it was useless. Every time he shut his eyes he saw Loki. So if he looked a little haggard and disheveled, one could understand.

"So taking off from where we left yesterday." Suddenly the whole tower started to sharing and a lite shown in the sky. "Really? Can people really not see that I am making a speech." Tony sat down to sulk while everyone else went out to see who was exiting the Bifrost. It turned out to be the Queen.

"Mother! How lovely to see you. Do you have news about,"

"Safely no. But Himdale informed me of your rescue of Loki's apprentice. I thought I could help him to locate her." She turned to address Sherlock. "Are you all right with that?" Sherlock was uncomfortable with the sudden shift in attention but knew he had to do whatever the Queen said to save Loki.

"Sure. Whatever is needed. I'll do it." And just like that Sherlock was being whisked away by Loki's mom to another room where they sit. With a wave of her hand tea is read for two.

"Loki told me that it is a customer of your people to drink tea. Now tell me." Frigga took a sip of her tea , testing how the "Earl Grey" tastes. She also waits for Sherlock to drink before speaking. "Sherlock. Have you had any dreams recently." He nodded his head. "I need you to tell me about all of them. And I need to know all of the details." Sherlock immediately decided to not say anything about that kiss from the other night.

"Okay. Well they started out as just Loki and me sitting and meditating. She would then say I wasn't concentrating. I would look up and suddenly her appearance would change from healthy Loki to a beaten and bleeding Loki. Really they hardly look the same. And then she stands and starts to come towards me saying I had abandoned her and that she was being hurt and then I would hit a wall with my back. She would continue to walk forward and say that if she was in pain, then everyone would be in pain. She would n=then choke me and that's when I wake up."

The look on Fregga's face was disconcerting. She looked troubled and sad. Since she didn't say anything Sherlock continued. "Then other times I just see flashes of a place. One of them is this giant, planet, but it looks like it has had a giant part of it cut off. And there don't seem to be any stars." Frigga seemed to perk up and look at him. But when he said no stars her face fell again. Sherlock realized that something felt wrong about his description so he closed his eyes and called up the vision. "Wait. There are stars, but they are really far away and faint."

"Can you describe any constellation you see. Or draw them?" Sherlock felt a pen and notebook being pushed into his hands and he took it. He started drawing out constellation and after that was done he described a long corridor, a room, small and dark. Another far bigger and it had a bed in it. Then a large crater like thing with guards on all sides and a giant thrown at one end with a chain attached. This all went on for a while and after Fregga urged Sherlock to rest and that there would be much more latter.


Three hours latter Sherlock woke up and went back out to the main room to find that all the Avengers were there. And when he said all, he meant all. Vision, Wanda and Pietro. They were all talking and planning. Sherlock found a seat by John and listened in. John filled him in. Apparently with the constellations Sherlock provided, Heimdall was able to give them a location of the planet where Loki was. And here they were, all making plans and getting ready to save Loki. There was only one problem, Heimdall wasn't able to send them there.

"What do you mean we can't get there. All seeing whats his face can send anyone anywhere. So why not too Loki." Tony was exasperated as he spoke and had flopped down onto the couch half way thru.

"Well where Loki is, is a place in between the worlds. Getting there is hard to do and it takes more energy then is capable of being produced. The only time it ever happened, was when." Thor stopped looking down. Everyone just stopped, letting him compose himself. "The last time was when the Bi Frost broke and, and she fell thru. That is where mother thinks Loki must have come across the tyrant."

Everyone let this new information set in as they tried to think of a way to get to Loki. No one thought of anything. At all. Tony thought about increasing the power to the Bi Frost. But he doubted that his reactors would be compatible with the alien technology. With an exasperated sigh, Tony flopped over on the couch. It was too early to be doing this. And he was not nearly drunk enough to be doing this.

"Well then what are we going to do?"

"Maybe we can help."
